"Well that ball is in your court." He shrugged, brushing her hair absently with his fingers. "I already know how it goes, I wrote it, remember?"
He was amused that she was still reading. A little embarrassed, it felt odd to have some of his most ridiculous writing voiced out loud, especially with how raunchy some of it was, but she didn't seem to hate it, and that was a profound relief.
"Ow!" He pretended to be more seriously injured than he actually was, flopping sideways on the couch. "Oh no! I'm being punished for my horrible smutty ninja-fics!"

When he flopped, she flopped, and so Tallulah wound up sprawled across his stomach, computer precariously suspended between her tightly-gripping fingers. "Careful," she laughed, setting it on the coffee table where, all things considered, it was probably safer. "This isn't punishment," she added, smirking at him. "This is hilarious. And, if it's all the same to you..."
She turned her attentions back to the computer, where things were getting decidedly steamy. Her eyebrows had resumed their ascent as she read, seeming to threaten to crawl all the way off her forehead the more explicit the story got. After a while, they seemed to park themselves and would go no higher, and she trailed off from reading out loud, although continued to mouth the words.
A while after that, she stopped reading altogether and rolled over to look Jaimie in the eye. Her eyebrows had returned to their normal position by this point, and she presently quirked one at him. "Cheesy to the max," she proclaimed, but she was smiling slyly as she said it. "But if you overlook that it's weird Anime fandom porn... It's actually pretty hot."

"I'm kind of secretly figuring that it's partially hot -because- it's Cheezy." He teased, his grin unbroken from watching her read. Her eyebrows were expressive to the point of the fantastic. It was fun to watch, as was her habit of mouthing the words. (She had a cute mouth anyway.)
"I mean why else would romance novels do so well? I mean they've got to be making some kind of money, they sell them by the truckload." He pointed out.

"I always figured it was an industry founded on lonely midwestern housewives," replied Tallulah, resting her chin on her arms, which were crossed across his chest. She lay like that a while, her expression thoughtful, as she studied his face.
There were a million different thoughts running through her mind at the moment, and some of them were very un-Tallulah-like indeed. She bit her lip, trying to nail down which of these was the best idea, and then suggested, "We could try it."
Her heart was pounding in her chest.

Jaimie blinked, staring at Tallulah with an expression that pretty clearly indicated that he was rolling the deceptively simple statement over in his head, then back through again, analyzing it to see if it meant what he thought it sounded like it meant.
He couldn't reach a conclusion where it didn't mean 'that', but he was having equal difficulty picturing 'that' statement coming from the level headed Tallulah "When I said study date, I meant study date now tell me what the capitol of X is" Cowden, and after a minute he gave a startled, half baffled laugh.
"Wow you make it sound so -romantic-." He teased, trying to cover for his astonishment. ((Did he secretly have some kind of aphrodisiac powers in his writing? He might have to investigate this. ... On second thought, scratch that, his only research potential was Tallulah... and KitsuneTricks Fan following. Most of whom were frightening in a sort of horny-barely-pubescent-do-your-parents-know-you-read-this-way. He did not want to know -that- about them. Not with anything greater than the nagging suspicions that always made him want to shower with an brillo pad.
"I didn't know bad fan fiction had that effect on you." he continued, tousling her hair, and trying to pretend the idea now wasn't bouncing around in his head. It was like trying to ignore an elephant standing on the coffee table.

"I think it helps that I've only got a hazy grasp of who Naruto and Hinata even are," replied Tallulah, because it was true. She was years past any sort of passing interest in anime, and whatever digging she'd done into Japanese pop culture for the Basterds had been limited to subject matter from twenty years ago. "Lets me focus on the story."
She was being ironic, of course, or as ironic as she thought she could manage when in fact it was slowly settling into Tallulah's mind that she had in fact just propositioned her boyfriend, and that he seemed to have not gotten the message.
"We could," she repeated. There. The offer stood. And then when he still looked a little incredulous added, "Sex, Jaimie," and cracked a smile. "We could..."

"I... got that part." The elephant on the coffee table was now doing soft shoe, and he wasn't sure how to wrap his head around it. Well... the lustful part of his brain had a pretty good idea what to do about it, but the other 'voice on his shoulder' was whispering something about Angus and his miraculous ability to know telepathically what was going on, and how he would be sharpening knives and getting ready to turn Jaimie into thin cut stir-fry. "I just wasn't exactly expecting it, especially from you."
"Not that I'm not interested it just makes me wonder if you're ok."

"Leave it to you to be the responsible one," sighed Tallulah, deflating somewhat. The irony wasn't lost on her at all. Her giddy serendipity was fading, replaced by concern for his concern. Did she really have such a stick up her butt all of the time that actually wanting to have sex with her boyfriend was enough to make him think she'd been replaced with an alien doppelganger?
Well, maybe. Tallulah leaned her head against Jaimie's chest and tried to calm herself down enough to think, but then when she did the only question was why is he saying no?, which proceeded to marquee itself across her brain for the better part of the next thirty seconds. "This isn't about the can of mace my dad gave me, right?" she asked. "Because that was a joke, Jai."
It hadn't seemed like a joke when Angus made a show of presenting his little girl with a can of personal protective spray earlier, but Tallulah knew better than anyone that his sense of humor was notably black. Nellie, also of twisted humor, had helpfully provided a box of condoms. 'To go with the mace.'
"I'm fine, Jai," she emphasized.
